The NBARC Christmas Party was held December 1, 2011 at The King's Buffet. There was a good turnout (I didn't count)and all had a good time (some ate too much). We managed to raise $245.00 for the Santa Fund.
Our January meeting will be held Wednesday January 11th 2012 at the OPP Comm Centre. Doors open at 1915ET. We have already been asked to do The Run off the Grid this year. It is scheduled for Saturday September 29th, 2012. The TENTATIVE date for the Northern Ontario Flea Market is Saturday September 15th, 2010. Mark both dates on your calendar.
I was at both sites yesterday and updated the controller firmware, and changed the times to UTC.
I also discovered that the controller programming software had a setting to indicate that the controller had a Real Time Clock.
Well needless to say, I never saw that item before! (its now set).
The repeaters will reload their clocks on Saturday morning between 9 and 10 am (hopefully).
The antenna at NFM is still on the old tower, and the new tower is quite a bit higher.
There was no evidence of furry little creatures either.
NBARC's annual Christmas get together. Meet at the King's Buffet shortly after 6 p.m. for a meet and greet, dinner commences about 6:30.
Once again we will be taking up a collection for the Santa Fund.
Maybe Bill will be in the elf outfit this year? See you there.

Lakeshore Drive.
Is there a possibility of my joining this group?
